A mobile wireless communications device may include a portable housing, at least one wireless transceiver carried by the portable housing, and a satellite positioning signal receiver carried by the portable housing. Moreover, a satellite positioning antenna may be carried by the portable housing. The satellite positioning antenna may include an active element connected to the satellite positioning signal receiver, and a passive element connected to a voltage reference and positioned in spaced apart relation from the active element and operatively coupled thereto for directing a beam pattern thereof.

A device and method for applying intermittent passive traction (IPT) that includes an initial phase followed by a sustained traction phase and finally a relaxation phase. During the first phase of IPT, the spinal elements are placed under gentle traction. This period of time reduces the normal forces across the vertebral bodies, facet joints, paraspinal musculature, etc. The second phase holds the spine in sustained traction, further reducing the forces across the spinal elements, encouraging natural healing to occur and allowing the muscles a period of relaxation. The third phase includes the gradual reduction of traction. During this final phase, the normal forces across the spine are reestablished as the IPT device slowly releases traction. The method resolves many of the most limiting problems associated with traction, CPM, and passive treatment modalities.

An e-vaping section includes a power supply, control circuitry and a removable insulator. The removable insulator is operable to prevent an electrical connection between the power supply and the control circuitry during manufacturing and shipment of the section when the e-vaping section is in a stored configuration.

The invention discloses a network hiding method for a computer and a network hiding system based on the method. In the network hiding method, a passive processing strategy and an active processing strategy are adopted. The active processing strategy comprises the following steps of S1, when a detection behavior is ongoing according to judgment, replying false information to confuse a detector and increase the attacking difficulty; S2, faking false data traffic and a real host network behavior, and disturbing a sniffing behavior; and S3, dynamically and randomly jumping to hide a real host by taking the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the real host as a jumping element. In the network hiding system, four layers of network hiding models, including an access behavior control module, a dynamic multi-address module, a traffic confusing module and a protocol stack fingerprint confusing module are adopted. Due to the adoption of the method and system, unknown security problems can be blocked in advance, the occurrence of malicious network behaviors is blocked at a source, and advance protection is truly realized; due to the hiding characteristic, the aim of nipping in the bud can be fulfilled in the system; and the computer security is well ensured.

The present invention is a method and system for treating iron-contaminated water (e.g., mine drainage) using an innovative treatment approach identified herein as the Activated Iron Solids (AIS) Process. The AIS process is capable of oxidizing and removing iron as iron oxides from iron-contaminated waters (such as, mining-related discharge, groundwater, surface water and industrial waste streams) producing a clean effluent. The AIS process is performed in a single or multiple tank system in which high concentrations of AIS are suspended through mechanical mixing to maintain a catalytic surface chemistry environment that increases iron removal thousands times faster than would naturally occur and hundreds times faster than existing arts (e.g., aerobic pond passive treatment). The AIS process can utilize inexpensive alkaline material (such as, pulverized limestone) where initial mine drainage alkalinity (mg / L as CaCO3) to ferrous iron (mg / L) ratio is less than approximately 1.7. Excess accumulated activated iron solids are periodically removed from the system using a waste-activated iron solids (WAIS) system and directed to an iron oxide thickener for further concentration.

A bioremediation system using inorganic oxide-reducing microbial consortia for the treatment of, inter alia coal mine and coal yard runoff uses a containment vessel for contaminated water and a second, floating phase for nutrients. Biodegradable oils are preferred nutrients.

This invention relates to a hybrid passive agent system impedance monitoring station and method. The method of monitoring impedance of an electrical system includes the steps of providing an impedance monitoring station adapted to test and monitor system impedance, solving for system impedance in a time domain, solving for system impedance in a frequency domain, and determining a time domain driving point impedance and a frequency domain driving point impedance to identify the impedance of the system.
